I concede this isn’t “news,” but it’s too good not to share!

      TikTok and Instagram are very picky about language and will algorithmically suppress you if you use words they deem to be “brand-risky.” As a response we now have people on social media training themselves to cover up letters in perfectly normal words, say “unalive” instead of “die/kill,” etc.

        don’t forget the creativity like “deleted from the census” or “bought the farm” or “bit the dust”, etc. There is a poetry to avoiding a filter.
